Instructions

For the Chicken Salad

Shred the chicken in either a stand mixer by using a paddle attachment or pulsing in the food processor. In a medium sized bowl add mayonnaise, salt, pepper, celery, and lemon juice. Stir until well blended. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Top the bottom slice of the bread with 1 leaf lettuce, then 2 slices of tomato and then 3 oz. of chicken salad. Place the top toasted slice on top and then cut the sandwich in half.
